[Endovascular surgery in prophylaxis of pulmonary thromboembolism and treatment of acute venous thrombosis].

From 1995 to 2001 1089 patients underwent 1141 endovascular procedures for treatment of acute thrombosis of vena cava inferior (VCI) system and prophylaxis of pulmonary thromboembolism (PT) including 61 catheter thrombectomies from VCI and common iliac veins, 35 regional thrombolyses, 880 implantations of permanent cava-filter "hourglass" and it modifications, 159 implantations of temporary cava-filter "umbrella", 3 implantations of filter-stent, 3 thrombectomies of a giant mobile thrombus with Dotter basket with subsequent cava-filter implantation. Efficacy of PT prophylaxis after these procedures was 97.9%. Catheter thrombectomy and regional thrombolysis permitted to repair passage through deep veins in 69.8% patients. Temporary cava-filter after treatment was removed in 49.1% patients. After implantations of permanent cava-filters early and late complications were seen in 8.9% cases.
